RICH TRADE WE OVERLOOK.
Wealth OF south America Left to England
and France TO Monopolizs.

Wealth OF south America Left to England
and France 10 Monopolize.
| British capital and enterprise have
| found in South America field which has
been of almost iuestimab'e advantage, not
only to those engaged directly in the
trade, but to the entire public of Great
Britain. For long period British mer
chants and manufacturers have practically
had monopoly OF supplying the wants Of
South America. They have, however, in
large degree, been merely the factors 70
dispose of the surplus products OF the
I South American countries. Within re-
cent years France, Germany and Belgium,
always large consumers OF those products,
have, by systematic efforts, very
largely increased the sale Of
their commodities By way of ex-
change. The great preponderance of
English commodities still disposed of to
Soul Americans is indicated and fairly
illustrated by the statistics of the foreign
commerce OF the Argentine Republic and
the Empire of Brazil. During 1881 inc.
Imports of the former We're S94, O56, l4A,s
and England supplied $50, 727, 6s4:
France, Germany and Belgium sold S52,-
904, 3O7. OF the products of the Argen-
tine Republic England took only S7,2ll,-
437, while the other three countries con-
sumed SIS, 1912 ,O29. The imports from
France were SIG, 49,, $50, and the exports
to were SO, 1881. The imports from

S7,317,293 and bought $780, $50 Of
goods. The volume of our trade with
these two countries was $50, $50, 953, and
the balance against was S37,946,647. The
balance OF trade in favor of England from
the same countries was $40, 733,545.
Every dollars worth we sold to the Ar
gentine Republic and Brazil was paid for
in drafts on London. Every dollars
worth he bought we paid for in the sa9s
way; moreover, the great bulk of what
we bought and sold came and went in
British ships.
The superficial area OF the Argentine
Republic is SIX times greater than that of
France and Germany combined. 1t ex-
tends from the twenty-sscond degree to
the tifty-ffth degreeof south latitude, and

Public Schools.

The discussion of school moneys,
school houses and school teachers is a
good sign. 1t is said by the school
board that Dallas has been cheated out
of much money by the heretofore low
estimate oftthe scholastic population,
and the board recommends the city
council to remedy this fault at once,
10 that proper census can be taken,
and Dallas receive her proper proper
ton of state school funds. The
school board also demonstrates to the
CITY council that more school houses
are ueeded-.three in number. These
important matters should receive the
earliest attention of the council. Chill
drcn cannot be properly taught in the
crowded condition the schools are in,
and progressive Dallas should not lag
in the matter Of schools. The city
council need have no fear OF
any movement to further the
interests of the schools. Every
thing done in this direction is popular,
if the pulse beats that way. The ma
iority of the voters in any town, like
Dallas, are in favor of public schools
in all the term implies, and they will
forgive a too lavish expenditure, rath-
er than overlook a refusal TO extend
and improve the schools.

An Open Well in Which Any
One Might Fall.

There is an open well in vacant lot
in the second block north of Griffin
street between Ross avenue and Camp
street that is very dangerous. The lot
being without all inclosure, pedestri-
ans take the path across 1t, and this
well is within four feet of the path
II should be attended to. The well
should have a covering or the lot en-
closed. There is great danger of loss
of life the condition it is in now.
There are a number Of places in the
city, especially in the sidewalks, that
are almost death traps. Some of these
days the 'ity will have damage suits
for broken heads and legs if some care
in not taken to guard against it.

A Crying Shame.

IL Is crying shame that the side
walks in this great and prosperous
city should be in the condition they
are. Our boosted greatness is a good
dea. like the strutting peacock. He
is all right in his pride and beautiful
plumsge, but when he looks down at
his feet his feathers fall, HE pride col
iapses. When the authorities look at
the condition the city is in In this re-
spect, they either have no pride or
they are not up with the times. 1t is
Q constant source of remark by
strangers, and they find fault. "Well,'
you say, "let 'cm move on If they don't
like our style" That is not the spirit
that builds great commercial 'centers
and draws to them great wealth and
intelligence. Sidewalks may be con-
adered something too small for some
people to consider, but the attractive
ness, madc so by. excellent
btTctlb, sluOOtlt anu uhtioih oAo"
walks, fountains, parks and oleanli-
ness, will bring more people inside its
borders than any one thing that can
be done. The very air Of city de
termines many man in his choice of
. location. Living in the city for
years, we do not see it as the stranger
does. 1t looks well enough to those
who have lived here froc' the towns
infancy, and have witnessed the pro-
gross made, but the stranger
cannot make the comparison. There
must be more work donc on the
streets, and, above all, on the side
walks. The city authorities should
SEQ that the city ordinance lie enforced,
snd if the present ordinance is not up
to the mark that is, does not cover
the ground-pass another that will.
Every day you delay this important
matter is loss to the city.

Railroad Construction.

1t is stated that 1000 miles of rail-
road have been built in the United
States during the present year, or more
than twice as many as were built in
1885. The increase consists almost al
together in extensions by old corpo-
rations that have the money to pay for
them, a condition of things that pre-
vailed to far less extent during the
last era Of railroad building. The
danger of OVERRIDING the business is not
wholly lacking, however. --NeO York

MOUNT VERNON AyENUE.-The Wash
jneton Republican of this morning has the
following editorial:
Immediate tips ought to be taken to
make splendid drive from the Virginia
terminus of the Aqueduct bridge to Mount
Vernon Two and @ quarter miles OF this
road would pass through the government
property at Arlington, nearly five miles
through Alexandria county, and seven miles
through Fairfax county, Va. A grand ave-
nue, one hundred feet wide, properly
graded, macadamsed and shaded, should
cover the distance between the capital city
of the nation and the tomb of its great foun-
der. This avenue would connect Alexan-
dria with Washington. 1t would cause vii
LA belonging TO the Wealthlest citizens OF
the nation 10 be built along and near the
avenue Ii would add vastly to the pros
periy and wealth of Washington, and the
leading citizens of Washington should move
ia The matter at once. Alexandria Is most
vitality Interested in this question. Such an
avenue would give the citlzens of that his.
ioric city two splendid drives, one 20 WASH
ington aud the other 10 Mount Vernon. 1t
would take hundreds of tho citizens of
Washington every pleasant day to and
through Alexandria, and most Of them
would spend more or less Of their spare cash
in passing 1t would give Il new competi'
tive line of travel to Washington. 1t
wond benefit the people OF Alexandra
county in very many ways. 1t would adj
vance the price of ali real estate within
some miles of the avenue. lt would cause
the improvements of all roads leading into
The avenue. Ii would give new and bet
tor route for bringing all kinds of farm
produce, both into Washington and Alex.
andria. The avenue would confer similar
benefits on Fairfax county. The beautiful
country through which the avenue would
pass from Alexandria to Mt. Vernon would
he dotted with handsome residences on both
sides Of the avenue, and IS in Alexandria
county the value of property would be in
creased, roads leading to the avenue would
be improved and the farmers would have
first class method of reaching two good
markets with all their produce. Tho com
missioners of Alexandria and Fairfax coun-
ties should take immediate steps TO open
this avenue. 1t is true the laws OF Virginia
do not allow more than width OF sixty feet
condemned for road purposes, but there sure
~ would be no property owner on the route
so foolish as to refuse the additional forty feet
necessary to make one of the grandast drives
in the world, and if there were any such
they could soon be brought to terms by Il
special act Of the legislature of Virginia.
The parties at interest in this matter are the
people of Washington, of the city and county
of Alexandria, aud those of Fairfax county.
Will they not all move at once TO secure the
commencement and completion of so mag
nifcent work =? OF course the United States
will do its part. 1t needs an avenue of
grand proportions leading to The main en-
trance of the beautiful cemetery where so
many thousands of its brave defenders lie
ontombed.'
